The plate-blank is then a certain new and useful Bracket and Support, cut on the lines 1/ and a in Fig. 2, whereby of which the following is a specification, the the two bracket-support plates A, blanked out same beinga full, clear, and exact description in duplicate, are formed, each having recesses of the invention, such as will enable others a formed in the outer edge thereof and intew skilled in the art to which it appertains to rior angular recesses 11 and projections of lomake and use the same. catcd along the rear edge thereof. The ad- My invention relates to articles constructed vantage of blanking out the ln'ackel-support and arranged to serve as supporting plates in duplicate is that the metal keeps its shape or arms and provided with means to sustain and does not become curved out to one side 5 shelves, 850., and also having engaging mcans as occurs when a single bracket-summit is cut whereby the same may be secured to a suitout in strips. B denotes another supportable back bar, channel-plate, orother support, plate, constructed and arranged to be engaged and also to supporting devices for the said with the first-named plate A, the said plate 1% bracket-arms; and it has for its object the being formed with slots or recesses to regis- 20 production of structures formed of sheet ter with and engage the projections 1/ of the metal and stamped out in order to provide a plate A. The two plates A and B are assemlight as well as strong and durable, although bled as shown in Figs. 5 and (5, the projecinexpensive, metal bracket-arm and-support tions a being passed through the slots 1) and therefor. riveted to the rear face of the plate B, the

Fig. 2 is a similar ing or orifice. A washer (l is placed loosely 35 view of the said blank cut so as to form a pair on the pin 1/, and an interiorly threaded 5 of plates. Fig. 3 is a plan view of a plate thumb-nut E is constructed and arranged to used in connection with one of the plates work on the said pin 1/ in order that the said shown in Fig. 2.

As it is evident that many changes in the construction, form, proportion. and relative arrangement of parts might be resorted to recesses and means to screw and rigidly hold the Washer and bracket to the support.
